Help Protect Dunedin’s Native Biodiversity

Five years ago, we embarked on a bold mission: to protect the native biodiversity of Ōtepoti Dunedin by eliminating possums, rats, and mustelids. Together, we’ve made incredible progress:

  • Nearly 70,000 possums, 40,000 rats, and 2,000 mustelids removed

  • The Otago Peninsula is nearly possum-free

  • Native birds like tūī, bellbirds, and kererū are thriving in backyards and reserves

  • Gardens and fruit trees are flourishing without possum damage

While we celebrate these achievements, we’re also looking toward the future. How do we protect the incredible gains we’ve made? How do we ensure future generations enjoy a Dunedin alive with birdsong and native wildlife?

Your support can make it happen.

A donation today will help us:

  • Maintain progress with ongoing predator control

  • Expand efforts in West Harbour, Mt Cargill, and City Sanctuary

  • Empower communities to take action for a predator-free future

Be part of what’s next for Dunedin.

This is a pivotal moment. With your help, we can build on the progress of the past five years and create a brighter future for Dunedin’s native wildlife and communities.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can do even more.
